The singer posted three photos of her new ‘do, but none were captioned with an explanation of why she decided to make the big change. Recently, though, Queen Bey had an incident involving her hair while performing her hit “Halo” during a concert — it got caught in a fan!

Beyonce has rocked a number of different hairstyles over the years — from straight, to curly, to braided — but, except in some films, it’s always been long, making the change quite dramatic.

The 31-year-old just wrapped up the North American leg of her world tour and will pick things up again in Latin America come September.
